Hi Sridhar,

During shut down & start up of APO system, functional part

involvement is mandatory and it is not an isolated work of

basis alone.

Moreover, in addition to the steps that you have mentioned,

the following are some of the steps that you can follow it up.

1) DP:-

Before shut down:-Copy of data to other simulation versions

from active versions if required. Locking users, Postponing or

rescheduling of jobs accordingly

After shutdown:- Time series consistency checks

Validation of data, Scheduling jobs, unlock users

2) SNP PPDS:-

Before shut down:- Jobs postponement or rescheduling,

Informing users to take the necessary deliveries from stos

from snp for execution

After shutdown:- Download of planning data and validation,

Scheduling of jobs, Order conversions,

3) Technical Steps:- (CIF / Livecache)

Before shutdown:- Rescheduling of integration model jobs

if any,

After shutdown:- Scheduling of integration model jobs,

releasing locked users, Livecache consistency checks,

Delta report, Monitoring and clearing inbound/outbound

queues etc.,

Hi Sridhar,

Please check SDN Wiki pages in the area of Supply Chain Management. You will find lot useful information about many of the topics below.

Please also check Application Operations Guide for SAP SCM 7.0 and others on the Installation & Upgrade guides in SCM area ( https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/instguides) . These will help on technical operations side.

Hope this helps.
